SAM is a buff taker. It makes good use of them. That is literally what the job is supposed to do. Y r u generalising speedruns like everyone and their mother r doing them? 99.9% of the population is nowhere near skilled enough, let alone giving enough of a damn about raids to clear them as fast as possible. Now nobody, NOBODY will want a SAM in speed runs. I suppose that is a good change in ur eyes? Going from loved to universally shunned?
More like bad post, you contradict yourself so many times it made my head spin. The SAM changes to crit don't impact anyone outside of the 0.01% as you just stated yourself. People also think that SAM's ridiculous damage pad only impacted the top of the top players when this simply isn't true at all, at every level SAM does way more damage and all you have to do is hit your CDs when they come up lol. The current design of jobs in this game is completely flawed anyway. Right now there's only one job that 'makes good use of raid buffs' at least to the extent that SAM does, making it the most centralizing job in the entire game, while most other jobs are glorified supports with the same copy paste raid buff that gets their damage handicapped in order to pad the job that does BY FAR the most DPS and basically compete amongst each other for the privilege of buffing the SAM. I don't see how one job being the best in every single comp in every single fight in every single circumstance is balanced at all.
